that’s when they say life happens…while we’re waiting. Today, September 6th, I did a lot of waiting. I waited for a text, I waited for a source of inspiration, I waited for perfect timing. Did any of these things surface you ask?
Well, the text, not exactly but that may or may not be for the better – let’s say it was for the better. The source of inspiration, I’ll say yes. The sun was out and the air today, oh, that air wasn’t she a beauty. The wind was full of potential and fall feelings, and of course this was inspiration in and of itself. I mean, it was aside from the lovely handmade banner of vintage handkerchiefs I had sewn the night before which now lay strung across the windowsill catching all the inspiring beautiful lighting of the day.
Lastly, perfect timing, now this one I question. For the sake of positivity I will indefinitely go with YES. I managed to muster out some perfect timing to have ample travel time to work just to keep my state calm and in tune with the three important sectors of ourselves – body, mind & spirit. As a result I had made it to Newbury Street just in time for what I had hoped to accomplish for the day, afternoon tea at my renewed favorite coffee shop Pavement. Although you may see this “accomplishment” as slightly trivial it truly is not. I am a being of indecisiveness and procrastination, as we all tend to be from time to time. I’ve found in recent months that tasking myself with the accomplishment of little joys, such as this Afternoon High Tea, enable me to maintain this happiness I so longingly crave to develop. Look at me, just blossoming into a happy individual with a sense of accomplishment right before your eyes.
Still, even though all this waiting had the ability to turn into all good things I worry about how much of my day’s potential was wasted as I waited. Did I stay in bed too long and just miss that individual I was supposed to have a “meet cute” with on the main streets of town (maybe it would have turned out we were destined to be the dearest of friends)? Was I wasting my beautiful mind on too many worries of the past when the future is waiting for me to take hold and create it already? Was laziness an inhibiting factor to my health causing me to bypass the opportunity to create yet another delicious creation for the world of us Gluten Free and Dairy Free eaters out here? All these questions may never be answered but one not listed will be. Am I going to let life be left unanswered and not happening due to my waiting around for another day? NO SIR!!
Sure, I’ll admit we’re all going to have our lazy days and moments of focusing on the past and how it will play into the current. What I aim to do is focus my mind on progress and chose opportunity for living over opportunity for dwelling. Today, for a major portion of the hours, I chose to dwell in my home. Of course this home is a darling home where anyone wouldn’t mind dwelling in happiness for a few hours per day. What I focus my concerns on is the fact that I could have had a lot MORE accomplished by stepping out of my home comfort zone. As the age-old question goes, “why leave till tomorrow what can be done today”. I concur, “exactly, why!?”.
With all of these ponderings and conclusions said, tomorrow’s potential is already surging through my veins and I can not WAIT for it to happen!! Life will be beautiful tomorrow and it is because I have added to my awareness and in doing so have developed another successful tactic to attaining my persistent state of happiness I CHOOSE to LIVE & PROLONG. Also, that I hopefully inspire in everyone else around me. Those who read this, perhaps those who I already know but have unfortunately lost touch with, or even those who I meet (maybe in the park during a sweet picnic with a wonderful old friend of mine tomorrow).
|do take time to breathe in that breezy air when you get there|
Whoever you are, wherever or however our happiness converges let it feed off each other a vibrate through the rest of the universe for all the other people still waiting. The weekend has arrived and I am thinking… “Saturday seems like a perfect day to start living, don’t you?”
How did you find happiness today?
xox,

happiness is...
